Used Junior Bauer VAPOR 1X Goalie Skates Extra Wide Width Size 4.5

Used Junior Bauer VAPOR 1X Goalie Skates Extra Wide Width Size 4.5 Bauer has completed the transition away from goalie cowlings to goalie holders. In 2011, they re-designed and changed the industry standard for a goalie cowling, and in 2016 they have gotten rid of the cowling all together. Bauer is the first company to rid of the protective, conventional cowling and replace it with a goalie-standard, yet player-like holder. The new VERTEXX EDGE holder looks like that of a player holder, but, of course, it has a flat design to cater to the flat steel that goalies use. This new holder increases the overall skate height by 5mm, which then increases the goalie's attack angle by 10% from the original VERTEXX cowling and 38% from any traditional cowling. The new holder also features Bauer's new 3mm LS3G stainless steel removable runner that has a better surface finish for a longer lasting sharpening. ERGOTOE is a reinforced toe cap that protects the foot from any pucks that hit the toe box. The Vapor 1X goal skates are constructed with a 3D anaformable Curv Composite boot. Bauer's Curv composite is a strong material that will hold the foot in a locked-in position, for more consistent strides on the ice, and also protects the foot from any contact. The 1X boot is designed with X-Wrap extended facing, to allow for more boot depth; the deeper boot design allows for the goalie to sit in their stance with less lace-tension and lace-bite. Dynamic Flex boot collar and tongue allow for more forward flexion, and the tongue has an asymmetrical profile that follows the shape of the top of the foot. LOCK-FIT PRO liner features grip in key zones to keep the foot locked into place, ensuring optimal fit and performance.
